An Album Which Contains Curious Col
lection Of Pictures-Hands and Feet.
my hand and foot album is the
dainty inscription on the cover of q small
but highly priced volume belonging to a
young lady living in the Mission. The
book Is bound in morocco and was evi-
IDENTIFY intended by its maker as an album
for small card photographs Of the regu-
latiOn portrait order. The novel use to
which it is now put has made Of the little
volume one Of the oldest of curiOs. In
nearly every one of the spaces prepared
for portraits is u photograph Of a feminine
hand or foot.
How did / get this collection. Well,
Il you won't write anything ridiculing it
I'll tell you"
That is what the owner Of the album
said TO reporter.
You see," she went on, as she turned
The leaves of the interesting volume,
''some of the girls in this part Of town
with whom am acquainted hit upon the
idea Of having their hands photographed
l believe the first one wanted TO perpetu-
ate the taper finger on which she had just
had an engagement ring placed. The
picture was taken in little circle, with
star points all around it, and showed moth
ing but the hand and a portion Of the
wrist. Here it is, you see."
A remarkably pretty hand, white and
dimpled like baby's, was shown.
Yes. that was the first, I believe. The
girl showed /, around among few of her
most intimate friends, Of whom am one,
and they all thought the picture such a
cute one that they Immediately made

the same style taken Of their own hands
OF course, they didn't all have engage
ment rings on, but some of them made
believe by using other rings, and others
had their hands taken plain, as you will
see, without any ring at all"
but about these feet;" asked the re-
porter as slippered and booted extremi,
ties were shown in passing.
Well" said the owner Of the album,
just the least bit shyly, ''you know when
girls get started on such notions rs these
they always go from one thing to another.
At first they thought it would be awful to
follow ont such a suggestion, but finally u
very brave possessor of a pair Of No. 2's
said she wasn't afraid, and If the other
girls would go with her to the gallery she
would sit for foot photograph. So they
went, and the result was that the whole
party except one girl, who wore No 5's)
had their feet taken. You can see them
here in all positions and styles"
In nearly every case there was a fringe
Of dress skirt above the shoe or slipper,
but in one or two instances this was lack
ing. However, nothing betokening i'm
modesty could be observed. There were
high, arched insteps and low, broad toes
and narrow, but nearly all wore common
sense low heels as the average mission
girl knows that running to catch q car
with pencillike heel under her is any
thing but nice. and there is good deal Of

PRINTED PAGES REPRODUCED
BY the "Washout' GeIatine Process
Utilizing the suns Ruys

Utilizing the Suns Rays.
The English edition of an encyclopaedia
Is being reproduced entire. in exact fac
simile, without line OF type being set
The process by which it is being done, like
many inventions of the kind, is extremely
simple, and yet requires such delicacy in
handling that it has taken years OF careful
experimenting To bring it to its present
state Of perfection. The 90 600 pages ard
the thousands of illustrations making up
the encyclopaedia are being reproduced BY
Just this miNture-plain, common gela-
tine, such as You use at home in Your
cooking. Nothing more, except a few
chemicals, ordinary brushes that can be
bought anywhere for quarter, and
nothing less.
The idea of the ''washout" gelatine pro-
cess is not n new one. IL certainly dates
back a dozen years. But it was in 1884
that the patent under which the encyclo-
p8dia is being reproduced was first OBJ
tanned. But then it was not practical In
two or three years several different own
ers Of the patent found it an elephant on
their hands. and because they could not
work IL practically-in other words, ITO
make money out OF it''-failed Finally
year ago it began to assume a more
practical shape, and the company then
working it took the contract from firm
Of New York publishers TO reproduce the
encyclopaedia. Like many new things the
process was cranky" and refused to
work practically and steadily enough to
produce the result aimed at The thing
dragged along. until finally last April the
company made an assignment and its
plant and patent We're bought by a former
member of The Boston Globes stall, He
saw what simple changes we're needed
to make the process a success. and now
plates for the new popular reprint of the
encyclopaedia are being turned out COM
plete and ready for the press at the rate of
500 week, while it seems that in the
near future there will be practically no
limit to the number Of books that may be
reproduced without setting line OF type
IL is the simplest thing in the world
that is, to explain on paper. Gelatine,
when prepared by this secret process, has
the property of becoming almost as hard
As metal when exposed to the sunlight
and remaining soft and soluble when kept
in the dark. When in liquid state il is

so, but the way to safety has at the

chilled the heart with the Upas-like

from sea to shore. But you have saved

A Rich Woman's Whim.

A curious story comes from England
through a private source, that the
Baroness Burdette Coutts has some
thing that no other woman in the
world possesse three skins. All 9TH
er women have two; but what is the
use of great fortune if you can't af-
ford yourself a little unusual luxury
now and then? The third skin is made
Of silk, and is SO exquisitely fine aad
cfose-fitting that few people have de-
tected its presence. 1t is said to cover
her whole body, from her ankles to
her chin, and they, for she has sets of
them, are woven specially for her.
They are fiesh-colored, of course, and
hide all wrinkles and ravages of time,
with the natural discolorations of the
skin that are the result of age. Where
this artificial skin ends at the throat
the Baroness wears a splendid collar
of jewels or velvet band, end she
never takes off her gloves while in
evening dress, not even to eat her din
